Template:Tlp/doc

This is the {{Tlp}} or template link with parameters template.

It can be used in documentation and talk page discussions to show how a template name would be used in code.

Here is how this template looks. Code to the left and actual rendering to the right:

{{Tlp|name|parameters}} = {{name|parameters}}

Features of {{Tlp}}:

• It shows a template name with a link to that template.
• It shows up to eight parameters.
• It also shows empty parameters. (See examples below.)
• It prevents line wraps in its output.
• It uses normal text style. (While for instance {{Tlx}} uses teletype text style.)

This template belongs to a whole family of similar templates. See the see also section below for some of them. For instance, when writing documentation you might want to avoid a lot of unnecessary links, since it decreases readability. Then on the first occurrence of a template name use {{Tl}}, {{Tlp}} or {{Tlx}}, and then use {{Tlf}}, {{Tld}} or {{Tlc}}.
